It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

A Senegalese man abducted 51 children when he hijacked an Italian school bus and set the vehicle alight in a protest over migrant deaths in the Mediterranean.

Ousseynou Sy, originally Senegalese but with Italian citizenship, stopped the bus he was driving, with two classes of high school students on board.

He was said to have ordered the children's hands to be bound and threatened to kill them and himself during the drive, before setting the vehicle on fire when he was stopped by a police blockade today.

Officers broke the glass in the back door of the bus and got all the passengers to safety without serious injury before the flames destroyed the vehicle, authorities said.

As he was apprehended, the driver said he was protesting migrant deaths in the Mediterranean, Commander Luca De Marchis told Sky TG24.
 
News just broke four hours ago

https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2019/...m-and-thinks-wearing-a-burqa-is-stupid/80629/

Comedian Jim Jefferies took digs at Islam during an interview he had months ago with Jewish content creator Avi Yemini. The interview only recently aired as part of Jefferies’ coverage of the Christchurch, New Zealand shooting, where he used the footage of Yemini to mock him and attempt to portray the outspoken Jewish pundit as Islamophobic while pretending to champion immigration and open borders.

What Jefferies didn’t know was that Yemini had setup his phone to record the conversation while he was being filmed, so that he was able to capture some of Jefferies unedited comments and honest opinions about Islam that didn’t make it into the Jim Jefferies Show on Comedy Central. This was a smart tactic after Jefferies used some editing magic to make #ComicsGate supporter Richard C. Meyer appear racist in a carefully orchestrated hit-piece.

Yemini aired pieces of the segment on his YouTube channel in a seven minute teaser, which you can watch below.


Yemini has plans to release the full hour long video that his phone captured next week.

In the teaser, however, there’s one segment between Jefferies and Yemini where they discuss Muhammad and how you can’t joke about him in Islamic communities because of how dangerous it is. Jefferies ignores Yemini’s forewarning and proceeds to draw a mocking image of the Prophet Mohammad, saying “He looks like a wobbly ghost”.

Later on in the video that was recording the entire session, unbeknownst to Jefferies, the Australian host and Yemini both discuss their dislikes of Islam, to which Jefferies says…

“I’m not a big fan of Islam. […]

“I think that wearing a burqa is stupid and demeaning and all those things.”


The two also discuss which one is dangerous, a dingo or Islam. They both agree that dingos and Islam are dangerous. Yemini notes that a dingo ate a baby – Jefferies cut in and said if a dingo ate a “bloody Muslim baby” it would probably vomit it, to which Yemini recoils and says…

“No… I don’t actually agree with that shit. […] That’s not funny. You’re talking about fucking killing kids. That’s crossing a line. There’s a fucking line.”

Jefferies attempts to smooth it over by hand-waving away the exchange, to which he likely wanted to bait Yemini into furthering the joke to make him look bad during the segment but Yemini didn’t bite. Jefferies then says…

“We’ll edit this bit out. I never look bad in these interviews.”

That’s true for when there is no unedited footage of the interviews. In this case, Yemini provided footage from behind the scenes of Jefferies denigrating Islam and mocking Muhammad.

In the full seven minute segment that aired on Comedy Central, Jefferies is right that he completely avoided being made a fool, but definitely went out of his way to ensure that Yemini was made to look ridiculous. The segment was posted up on March 20th, 2019.]

Jim Jefferies Show

@jefferiesshow
Does Australia's anti-migration fence hold up to its name? Ask the dingo that just crawled under it.

As you can see, the whole bait about the dingos eating Muslim babies was to get Yemini to say something so that he could use it against him during the part where they were talking about the dingo fence. However, thankfully, Yemini didn’t bite.

Also, you’ll note that in the tweet, Jefferies is getting absolutely ripped to shreds in the comment section by people linking to Yemini’s video exposing Jim for being “Islamophobic” and for mocking Muhammad.

As Yemini mentioned in his own video, one must wonder how the Muslims will respond to Jefferies mocking Muhammad?

And America is still sleeping
 
I'm not a fan of Islam. Honesty don't blame him. If you actually study the religion and see it for what it really is people will understand.
I have been saying this about Islam for years. The first time I read a critical book on Islam, not just a puff piece on them, I was kind of sad.

It was saddening to me because there were 1.5 billion people (almost 2 now) that I thought believed every word of the Koran.

I have since learned that most Muslims are not as strict as we would believe, and that the closest adherents to literal interpretive beliefs on Islam would be ISIS for example.

But, most of the Muslim nations during the Crusades were not unlike ISIS is today. And what can be forgotten can just as easily be remembered...

Their preachers/priests in mosques behind closed doors still say they want non believers dead. They want to take over western governments (I honesty think they nearly have) to enforce their laws onto us and if people resist it's death or enslavement. They of course will deny this to save face in the public eye to be a religion of peace. But the most devout Muslim is the one most likely to kill you. The bloody history of Islam is available to all who care to study it. The Quran/Koran never once speaks of Allah's love for non-Muslims, but there are hundreds of verses that speak of Allah's cruelty toward and hatred of non-Muslims.

Having this knowledge and saying it irl or on the net might land me in trouble one day or worse.

I hope he stands by his comments, but I would bet money that he starts an apology tour ASAP.

He probably won't. He'll take it back and say he meant it a different way.

It's funny, people try to compare christianity and islam, saying the bible has some pretty bad stuff in it (and it does).

However, it's pretty easy to see the difference when you look at the two religion's most important messengers from god. Islam has Mohammed, warlord, conquerer, rapist. He told his followers to convert people by the sword.

On the other hand, christianity has jesus. Jesus was a communist hippy who wanted everyone to be kind to everyone else, even the lowest people, like whores and robbers. He said the response to violence is pacifism. He never recommended anyone be murdered, as far as I know.

I mean, come on. Sure, the old testament has some weird shit in it, but there simply aren't christians going around trying to enforce that nobody wear clothing made of mixed fabrics.

Well example what does Islam say about the Mohamed Atta? He is revered as a mujahid, meaning a holy warrior, and an Islamic martyr. They are only as peaceful as everyone else until they really get into their religion.

Did Jesus personally take up the sword or order his disciples to take up the sword and kill in the name of his religion?

No he did not.

Did Mohamed personally take up the sword and order his disciples to take up the sword and kill in the name of his religion?

Yes he did and he did violently.
 
Sure, I trust some random jackasses to accurately know the status of our and china's military readiness. Why not.

I've seen a few of these circulating recently; I'm sure that China's military abilities have grown very strong but I really fucking doubt they'd crush us like all this news is saying. I'd say it's either:

  • Bait to embolden china so we can smack them down
  • Progressive PR campaign to justify cutting the military budget under the presumption that there's no point trying to be the 10x international military leader

Yeah, I've seen it too. People have been shrieking about the imminent collapse of the US since before we were a global power. On this site there's a joker who claims Europe could beat the US, while the Luftwaffe is flirting with parity with Mexico, and the Brits have more admirals than warships.

It's just part of the background noise, probably.
 
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Navy is preparing to sign a contract with General Dynamics Electric Boat and subcontractor Huntington Ingalls Industries for the next tranche of Virginia-class submarines, according to budget documents submitted to Congress this week.

The 10-ship contract, which will include nine of the 84-foot Virginia Payload Module upgrades, is planned for April, the documents say. The VPM is designed to triple the Tomahawk cruise missile capacity of the Virginia-class subs, a move designed to offset the pending retirement of the Ohio-class guided-missile subs, which have a 154-Tomahawk capacity. Each Virginia Payload Module sub will have a 40-Tomahawk loadout.

The first Virginia Payload Module ship, SSN-803, will be awarded as part of the block buy and is slated for a 2025 delivery, the documents say.

The contract is sure to be the largest submarine contract since 2014, when the Navy signed a 10-sub, $17.6 billion contract with Electric Boat and HII for the Block IV Virginia subs. The first of the Block IV ships, the attack submarine Vermont, is slated to be delivered in October, according to budget materials, with the final Block IV slated to be delivered in 2023.

The contract could still face delays, however. Last year’s budget materials listed the contract date for the Block V boats as October 2018, which has come and gone.

The Navy is pushing to boost attack submarine production ahead of an expected dip in attack boat numbers. The Navy expects to drop from 52 to 42 attack boats by the late 2020s, a move that prompted the Navy this year to add a third SSN to the budget and bump the start of LPD Flight II construction.

The Navy’s top officer said the move is meant to get the Navy closer to its required SSN levels.

“We’re much farther away from our war-fighting requirement in SSNs than we are in amphibs," Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson said at a March 13 roundtable. “So that was just a war-fighting priority.”

Richardson also sounded a cautious note on service-life extensions for Los Angeles-class attack submarines, saying the service is looking at each sub individually.

“It’s kind of a case-by-case basis,” Richardson said. "These submarines, the usage over their life is varying. You have to do it hull by hull. Overall, though, I’m pretty optimistic that that’s going to help us meet our requirements and attack submarine numbers.”
 
The Navy awarded Boeing a $4 billion multi-year contract modification to build 78 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighters, according to a Wednesday Pentagon contract announcement.


The contract modification covers the production and delivery of aircraft between Fiscal Years 2019 and 2021. Boeing estimates the multi-year contract modification will save the Navy $395 million.


“A multiyear contract helps the F/A-18 team seek out suppliers with a guaranteed three years of production, instead of negotiating year to year,” Dan Gillian, Boeing’s vice president of F/A-18 and EA-18G programs, said in a statement.


Four years ago, Boeing executives were evaluating whether to shutter the entire Super Hornet production line. The Navy’s FY 2016 budget request did not include funding to purchase Super Hornet, though the Navy’s unfunded priorities list that year did include a desire to purchase more Super Hornets to begin replacing the fleet of legacy F/A-18A-D strike fighters that were wearing out faster than anticipated.


The Navy has since renewed its dedication to buying more Super Hornets. The Navy’s current five-year purchase plan – of which the new multi-year award is part – calls for buying 110 Super Hornets, according to Boeing.


USNI News messages left with a spokesperson for Program Executive Officer for Tactical Aircraft Programs were not immediately returned.


Congress authorized the Navy’s request to issue such multi-year contracts in the Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act. The Navy has steadily retired older legacy F-18 Hornets as the newer Super Hornets came off the production line.


In February, USNI News reported the last operational Hornet squadron, the “Blue Blasters” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 34, held a sundown ceremony before taking a final flight over Naval Air Station Oceana. The squadron is transitioning to new F/A-18 Super Hornets.


Of the 78 Super Hornets covered by the new contract modification, 61 are F/A-18E single-seat jets and 17 are F/A-18F double-seat fighters. All are Block III aircraft, which are slightly more stealthy than Block II and, per the Navy’s request, have a greater range and can carry more weapons on a more durable airframe expected to last up to 9,000 fight hours – about a decade longer than Block II airframes.


The following is the full Department of Defense contract award:


The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, is awarded a ceiling priced $4,040,458,297 modification to convert a previously awarded advanced acquisition contract (N00019-18-C-1046) to a fixed-price-incentive-firm-target multi-year contract. The target price for this multi-year contract is $4,001,410,000. This modification provides for the full-rate production and delivery of 78 F/A-18 aircraft, specifically 61 F/A-18E and 17 F/A-18F aircraft for fiscal years 2018 through 2021. Work will be performed in El Segundo, California (61 percent); Hazelwood, Missouri (9 percent); Longueuil, Quebec, Canada (2 percent); Torrance, California (2 percent); Bloomington, Minnesota (2 percent); Ajax, Ontario, Canada (2 percent); Vandalia, Ohio (1 percent); Fort Worth, Texas (1 percent); Irvine, California (1 percent); Palm Bay, Florida (1 percent); Santa Clarita, California (1 percent); Grand Rapids, Michigan (1 percent); Greenlawn, New York (1 percent); Endicott, New York (1 percent); Marion, Virginia (1 percent); and various locations within the continental U.S. (13 percent). Work is expected to be completed in April 2024. Fiscal 2018 and 2019 aircraft procurement (Navy) funds in the amount of $1,557,334,000 will be obligated at time of award, none of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.
 
I saw that one from the lolcos of the DailyStormer. The French police is as cuck as the British and NZ ones. http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion.link/france-video-of-moslems-sexually-harassing-chinese-toddler/ ( http://archive.is/QYMYK )

France: Video of Moslems Sexually Harassing Chinese Toddler

The French police made a French citizen delete this video of Arab men sexually harassing a small child in France from her twitter account today: pic.twitter.com/ab12IPyUdd

Someone posted a video of Arab men sexually harassing a Chinese toddler, who appears to be 3 or 4 years old.
The girl is cornered by the men in what looks like an alley, and one of them says “you want my dick in your pussy?”
When the girl starts crying, he says “it’s fine, I’m gonna fuck you, stop crying. On the Koran, I’m gonna fuck you. Wallah I’m gonna fuck you, stop crying.”
The men are both touching her.
This is pretty standard fair for diverse and vibrant France.
Also standard fair in that magnificently enriched kingdom: the French police demanding the video be taken down and threatening anyone who reuploads it.
Merci de ne pas diffuser cette vidéo. Les enquêteurs de la cellule Pharos ont été saisis. Pour signaler des contenus illicites sur le web, rendez-vous sur la plateforme #Pharos : https://t.co/ai0pIAv3afpic.twitter.com/E2XNvkwvf1
— Police nationale (@PoliceNationale) March 21, 2019

After the initial video was posted, the French police tweeted: “Please do not stream this video,” and told people to contact the police if they see any illegal content on the internet.
Obviously, the only reason that police would want crimes to remain hidden is that they are trying to cover-up the crime. Even if they hunt down these men and charge them for this action (they won’t), it would still be a cover-up, because they are using police authority to prevent people from knowing that this sort of thing is happening.
